@Getaway - yes still here - I’ll pm you 👍

I don’t know what to say to this news - @Velocio has done such a good job over the years and this is one of three places I frequent every day (the others being STW and Retrobike) and that help sustain my love for all things bike -

I am very sad today

I can do £220 on the frame and £200 on the forks?

It's for sale elsewhere as a full bike but only here in bits!

Bob Jackson Columbus Nemo frame. Columbus Muscle carbon rear end. Good condition. .It’s 56cm horizontal c to c on the top tube and 55cm c to c on the seat tube (57.5cm to top of the slightly extended tube) - excellent condition for its age - it does have a few bubles and scratches and the original owners name has been lightly scraped off on the top tube, but overall it's in good shape and not in need of a repaint (unless your a perfectionist!) £245

Yes I’ve put it up for sale along with my Bob Jackson - I’m looking forward to a winter of off road and some gravel events next year so a bit of a swap around in “the stable”!!

I've got my Bob Jackson - ideal for the usage you've identified - pretty much everything on it is new or NOS, built to be easy to maintain in the long run - here’s a couple of pics:

@Po - that’s really interesting! Where do they live? I bought it from a guy in Whitchurch….

Playing about with it really!

You won’t find another one!! 😀

To be fair, it was more epic than I’d imagined - we had pretty crap weather - lots of wind and rain (and cold - ice inside the tents cold!)

It was the Ride Across Britain - so supported in the sense that you’re not carrying anything and all food provided, but camping and not hotels. - it definitely wasn’t the “holiday” to tour the country as I’d imagined and instead was a very tough endurance challenge - partly driven by the weather but also just 110 miles a day is definitely fatiguing!! Two ski station climbs in Scotland didn’t help either! (Glenshee and Lecht)…..overall an amazing experience.

Oh, and the bike was fantastic - super comfy with no physical issues coming to bear during the ride for me so my setup was good - three punctures in crappy weather/roads on first two days and new set of front pads needed by day 5 for the same reason but otherwise all good!!

Change of heart - made it a bit more “traditional” and now intending to keep it for a while!!

Black stem fitted and I rode it from Lands End to John o Groats too! (980
Miles in 9 days - finished over a week ago and still in recovery!)

It’s a beautiful thing!! 🤗

You can have a look at Andy’s Flickr pages here and see build pics of the frame and full bike - only difference now is bars/stem and brakes are not original - otherwise as Andy intended it! 😀
